The Rebirth shawl is shaped like an arrowhead, with increases at the sides and decreases along a central column. You cast on at the narrow tip and work your way across to the opposite edge. The shawl has blocks of garter stitch and stockinette stitch based lace. The eyelets in the lace blocks form delicate buds.
